PilferShush Jammer vs Secret Space Encryptor (SSE)
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
PilferShush Jammer
Features a passive jammer technique that engages the microphone thereby blocking other apps from using it. But does NOT listen to or record any of the audio from the microphone. It uses 0% CPU and no noticeable battery use. However is not intended to be left on permanently due to the variety of triggers that can cause audio_focus_state changes (VOIP etc). Also features an active jammer that emits tones constrained to the NUHF range of 18 kHz to 24 kHz range. User determined carrier frequency and drift limits with rate for random tone emissions depending on the device capabilities. For instance 20000 Hz carrier, drift limit 1000 Hz and rate slow - will output random frequency between 19 kHz and 21 kHz approximately every second. Audible artifacts are present during the NUHF tones but this may be changed in a future release. Experimental white noise output may not be very effective at blocking and is a somewhat annoying sound. The device speaker output may not have enough amplitude to block unwanted NUHF signals - testing will determine. * Manual start * Notification post when running * Auto stop and restart when telephony interrupts * Currently relies on audio_focus_state changes for auto-switching * Active jammer
Secret Space Encryptor (SSE)
➤ File Encryptor: Securely encrypt your private and confidential files or entire folders. 🎥 ~ Basic file encryption video tutorial ➤ Text Encryptor: Protect your messages, notes, cryptocurrency keys (seeds, mnemonics), and other sensitive text from unauthorized access. Use the internal database or simply copy and paste to/from your favorite apps. Set a password for each encryption/decryption session — you can use an unlimited number of passwords for different purposes (e.g., notes, emails, social networking, or communication with individuals A, B, C, etc.). 🎥 ~ Text encryption video tutorial ➤ Password Vault: Securely store and manage all your passwords, PINs, and notes in one place, protected by a single master password. Includes import/export functionality (compressed, fully encrypted .pwv format or unencrypted, editable .xml format). • Encryption Algorithms: Strong encryption with multiple ciphers, including AES (Rijndael) 256-bit, RC6 256-bit, Serpent 256-bit, Blowfish 448-bit, Twofish 256-bit, Threefish 1024-bit, SHACAL-2 512-bit, and Paranoia C4 2048-bit (available in the S.S.E. Pro version). • Steganography: Text Encryptor includes a steganographic feature that hides text within JPG images using the F5 algorithm, combined with your chosen cipher to produce a final steganogram (JPEG image). • Additional Tools: Password Generator, Clipboard Cleaner, Algorithm Benchmark, and more. • Cross-platform Support: Desktop versions (Windows, Linux, macOS) of File Encryptor and Text Encryptor are available at: https://paranoiaworks.mobi • iOS Support: Paranoia Text Encryption is also available for iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod). • Web Version: An online, client-side JavaScript version of Text Encryptor (AES) is available at: https://pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi
